aylipple: God forgive me! Dunno why I started laughing after I read “armed warriors”. You can deploy your so-called armed warriors to invade & kill your own “brothers” but you can’t deploy the same men of war to fish out & eject marauding herdsmen from your communities; why are we like this?
We use/deploy our strength in the wrong areas whereas the area where that same strength is needed, is neglected.
My dear you don't understand the community you are discussing If you have any friends or relative from either Afikpo or Uwana or Okposi or Akpoha or better still the Edda people themselves that are the neighbors to this particular community, Ask the person about the Amasiri people Do some little research about their relationship with their neighbors You will know that as far as land is concerned, they are very aggressive You can't take a pinch of their land and go scourge free They don't even mind the fg Just do your research The Edda people must have encroached to receive such treatment Even the herders avoid that community Ask even the herders they will tell you chilling encounters with that community if that herder you ask was part of the encounter
MufasaLion: Irrespective of the ethnicity, people will go where they can make impact and money. People are still going to the north to set-up businesses.
And to enlighten you, this is even the best time some businesses would thrive in the north. Insecurity provides opportunity for some people to make more money. You just have to be ready go through with the challenges.
Some people are making millions of dollars due to the Israel-Palestine war. Same as Russia and Ukraine. Residents and citizens will flee but that's an avenue for some people to make money. It's all about choice.
People who have received the mortal sting of tribal prejudice are talking and you are here bleating. No problem, go to Bauchi state and invest The goat had told the dog that it is not everything that you see at night that you make noise
I saw the video on Facebook Meeeen the beating was brutal I was even afraid for the man"s life They didn't spare any part of his body And they still dragged him away like a common thief
dederocs: It is not the self determination, it is the crimes committed in the process. He is not above the law because he is self determining. Self determining does not give him exclusivity to start a militia that spread terror, breaking prisons, resulting to release of hardened criminals, leading to total breakdown of law and order. There was a time when nearly 70% of southeasterners were outside south east because of the activities of ipob and sit at home order. He has no powers to give such orders, he placed himself way beyond his powers as a citizen, his powers and limitations are same as those killed by the activities of his militia group...Nobody is above the law, this principle is always constant, in all cases.
If we all start militias nowhere will be safe, only state, federal or local government authorities have rights to form security outfits, as backed by law, by an act of either state or federal parliament, working with state apparatus and cohesion, you can't just get up and form an armed wing because you are angry and feel like, the law don't care about your anger.
If we all have militias nowhere will be safe, the nation will retrogress...those places everyone like to live are peaceful and sane, because reasonable people maintain the peace and sanity.
How can he be fighting herdsmen and innocent people were dying and being oppressed by his group (sit at home order), it makes no sense. If Kanu was an American or committed these crimes in America, China or even South Africa, he won't see the light of day again. Our justice system seems weak, even our state prosecutors not sharp enough.
His lawyer is arguing that the prosecution failed to produce hard evidence Zero investigation report Zero witnesses aside the 'false'' ones (the dss witnesses) It's like a boy who threatened a girl that he will rape her and eventually the girl got raped And the girl's father now decided to press charges against the boy without hard evidence like DNA samples obtained from the gir during the rape incidence that establishes that beyond reasonable doubt it is the boy that raped her, and the girl herself not even being presented as a witness Only the father is presenting himself as a witness because he has the video of the guy making the threat.l
zero8zero: I will keep repeating it, there's no President that has fought insecurity headlong, killing more terrorists and bandits more than the current administration. Even though some political elements in the coalition are not happy the Government is dealing with their foot soldiers.
Keep sentiment aside, Jonathan out performed Buhari and Tinubu combined That was why the regions that admire Boko Haram went on a frenzy like a beheaded chicken to vote him out
[quote author=Llpsporksman post=135809557]For over half a century, the world was fed a carefully crafted illusion: that Israel was invincible, that its Iron Dome was impenetrable, and that America’s war dog could never bleed. They called it "God's chosen," a divine fortress backed by an empire that supposedly ruled the Earth. But all myths eventually face their reality check. In a dramatic twist that has left Western analysts gasping and Tel Aviv bunkers trembling, Iran’s missiles have shattered the legend—not just physically, but psychologically. The illusion of Israeli supremacy has cracked under a barrage of precision strikes, and now, for the first time in modern history, the so-called “untouchable state” is peeing in fear. And what's the USA doing? Screaming like a panicked mother hen, threatening Iran, waving nuclear ultimatums, and begging for a ceasefire. Why cry now, Uncle Sam? Didn't you want war?
🇮🇷 Iran Didn’t Just Fire Missiles—It Fired Truth Let’s call it what it is: Iran has obliterated the myth of Israeli exceptionalism. A nation once seen as the apex predator in the Middle East is now exposed, its streets in chaos, and its people huddling in bunkers, unsure if the next strike will hit a power plant, a defense HQ, or a government ministry. The world is witnessing what Israel and its Western backers never imagined: a Third World nation, under sanctions and isolation, delivering a military humiliation to a nuclear-armed state funded by the most powerful empire on Earth. And here’s the kicker: Iran isn’t even done yet.
🛡️ Israel’s “Iron Dome” or Tin Roof? For years, Israel’s air defense systems were paraded in Western media like ancient Greek shields—perfect, impenetrable, legendary. But when the Fattah-1 missiles rained down, they cut through those systems like hot knives through butter. Reports show multiple cities—Haifa, Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan, and Ashdod—took direct hits, crippling infrastructure and exposing the nation’s internal chaos. The so-called Arrow, David’s Sling, and Iron Dome were either overwhelmed or bypassed. Turns out, billions in Western defense contracts can't protect a house of cards. Israel has never looked so mortal. 🦅 USA: The Hunter Now Shouting “Ceasefire!” Here comes the hypocrisy at full throttle. After decades of arming Israel, vetoing UN resolutions, and greenlighting every military aggression from the apartheid wall to airstrikes on Syria, America now wants Iran to "exercise restraint"? Let that sink in. After watching Israel bomb Damascus, assassinate scientists, sabotage nuclear sites, and level Gaza neighborhoods, the USA had no problem. But now that Iran fights back, the rules suddenly change? Suddenly it’s a “global crisis.” Suddenly there’s talk of “escalation.” Suddenly, Uncle Sam is crying and rattling its sabers. Why? Because for the first time, its bulldog is being mauled in the open, and the neighborhood isn’t afraid anymore. 🤖 The Real Panic: A Shift in Global Power This isn’t just about missiles—this is about the collapse of Western moral authority. Iran’s counterstrikes have opened Pandora’s box: • The Arab street is erupting in support of Tehran, not Tel Aviv. • Turkey, Qatar, and even some Gulf states are quietly distancing themselves from Israel. • The Global South is watching, learning: maybe the empire isn’t invincible after all. The USA is not crying for peace—it’s crying for control. Because the beast they trained for chaos is now facing chaos itself. 📉 Israel: The Beginning of the End? Let’s be honest—Israel was never built to survive without American backup. Its economy, military, intelligence, and political dominance were always tethered to Washington. But now, as its cities burn and its security elite scramble, the American leash looks frayed. And Iran? Far from collapsing, it’s growing in influence. Its proxies are stronger. Its missiles are smarter. And its boldness? Unmatched. In truth, Iran just redefined asymmetric warfare—and exposed the limits of both Israeli and American dominance. 😏 Why Cry Now? You wanted war, remember? You sold the weapons. You funded the campaigns. You shut down diplomacy. You silenced international voices. You empowered the beast and watched it devour the region. Now that the tables have turned, you cry for ceasefire? Too late. The resistance you laughed at, sanctioned, and demonized now holds the initiative. The hunter’s attack dog is wounded, and the jungle smells blood. 🌍 The Earthquake is Coming What the West fears most is not Iran’s missile payloads—it’s the global political earthquake they’ve triggered. For decades, the West ruled by fear. But now, it rules by pretense. And the veil is falling. What’s next? A world where Israel is just another state—not above the law, not beyond criticism, and no longer bulletproof. A world where the U.S. can no longer pick winners and losers in the global south. A world where multipolarity isn’t a dream—it’s a missile away. And that, dear reader, is what they’re really crying about.
Saywhat10: Imagine running that large scale ops inside Russia, 40 I mean 40 fighter jets turn to ashes right under your nose. Clean smooth in and out no soul was lost on the Ukrainian side. And you make bold to spew this trash talk? This is one of the biggest loss and embarrassment in any war history. Record loss of close to 10billion dollars. You must be high on so cheap shiiiit
No it is estimated at $2billion by the Ukrainians themselves
MDK777: Russia is falling 🤣🤣 for una small mind, Ukraine go still collect
Ukraine has been collecting since the inception of the war Ukraine is the underdog Nobody expected them to last this long, bounce back and even strike Russia with such magnitude Last week, the POTUS told Putin that he is playing with fire and he Putin didn't understand I guess you yourself didn't understand either In my opinion, Russia lost the war when they failed to win in the first year of the war.
kettykin: Surprisingly the Environmental impact assessment criers of yesteryear are suddenly mute.
My suggestion is that the Calabar route should extend to cross river north city of Obudu, then to Ebonyi, get into Benue state where it can join the highway leading to Abuja . So that the Agricultural potentials in cross river, Ebonyi, Benue and Nassarawa can keep the route busy all year long
My brother, that picture is that of Calabar-Itu highway The OP is miss leading the public
FreeStuffsNG: The recordings, which were played in court, were said to have featured statements allegedly made by Kanu during periods of national unrest, including the 2020 EndSARS protests and various security incidents in the South-East.
This is the best and most civilized way to educate him that Nigeria is not a zoo. He will have full opportunity to defend himself in court.
FG remained resolute and didn't fall for blackmail or attempt to turn a serious criminal case into a political matter. The judiciary will do its job. Kudos to the judge for holding the court sitting daily to ensure that both prosecution and defence don't bring any technical delay.
All the victims of his alleged violent rhetoric must get justice. FG owes them that constitutional obligation.
All the victims of the coordinated arson unleashed on innocent people in Lagos and Lagos city during the politically motivated EndSARS arson on his alleged orders must get justice and be compensated.
The sentiment you just expressed here is some of the reasons I don't like to indulge an average Nigerian FYI MNK was already being prosecuted before the end SARS saga, On what grounds was he arrested before the end SARS violence? If an attempt was not made on his life after he had been granted bail in the course of the initial trial, what were the charges against him by FG? Rational reasoning is alien to an average Nigerian
Putindbutt: Bitter people do not want to rest. Nigeria is a top 3 fastest growing economies in the world by IMF. How can Statisense argue what IMF released by itself, are you guys clowning.
meemee: For the people asking since when has it become a crime to lodge with a woman in a hotel I ask. As a married folk and a so called freedom fighter who is attacking everything in sight for lack of integrity what is he doing committing adultery with a woman other then his wife in a hotel?
If he cannot be seen as a faithful man what makes you think that he is fighting faithfully for your concerns.
These are the questions that the first opening statement by the FG is looking to expose.
And let me tell you guys, those hailing these so-called freedom fighters but who are in fact sending the easterners a million years back each time they fight, if Ojukwu didn't start that stupid war but instead joined his father's business after his education in London and allowed peace to reign at a time when his people were enjoying the most financial, intellectual and social emancipation in their history Saudi Arabia and their likes will be coming here today to learn from us.
And just when the people were about to recover and heal from the wounds of that massive demolition of destiny boom comes another bigot in the name of IPOB. Just take a look at the mayhem caused since then.
Kanu is hired by some powers somewhere in this world to cripple the Igbos and only God will judge the matter of anyone seeing what he has come to do in a good light.
The Igbos should say no to this constant self destructive movements.
You are not talking to children or dementia patients Ojukwu fought against the mass slaughter of his people He didn't have an option Now NK is also standing in defense of his people who are being slaughtered the State at any little provocation Just like then and now, the life of an Igbo man is worth less than fifty naira to the Nigerian police, soldiers or any other paramilitary Cr security agency And you think no one should stand up for the Igbos so that peace would reign There will be no peace and there will always be some one to stand up for the Igbos if the killing of the Igbos persists
sreamsense: List 20 Igbos that have conquered greed. Will you and those people (you know what I am talking about) be among those that conquered greed? What is your yardstick measures needed to know Igbos that have conquered greed? I know you like deceiving yourself with self-ego. Those that conquered greed really may not be more than 4% in Biafra land because weekly international and local statistics of greedy Biafrans that are caught on drug related unrelenting in India, Indonesia, Cambodia, Nigeria etc on weekly basis attested to the facts that many known billionaires in the area once played dirty greedy game to become rich uncaught. Better for you to remove that "... conquer greed..."; don't use it in a statement where you mention Biafran to avoid sentence assasination
Your reasoning is very biased and it has not allowed you to understand the statement that you are reacting wrongly to I wish he stopped indulging you.
Agbegbaorogboye: I have always insisted that Nigeria's population is grossly overestimated If after all the enrollment surge that was occasioned by NIN-SIM linkage that even foreigners from Niger, Chad, Benin were registering as Nigerians, total figure is a paltry 118m not even close to half of our projected 250m population, then it's obvious that we might not even be up to 200m in the final run.
As at the last count, INEC database had 94m Nigerians and even that still contains foreigners.
So how is the 250m claim justified in the midst of these figures?
We might even be more numerous than projected You didn't consider the fact that chicken are not included in the both scenerio
PressMyButton: This is from a website that's Anti -Government and Anti- Tinubu, and a more authentic report because it quoted the Judge's statements unlike the other Fake News wailers are wanking over. No wonder, I checked a few X accounts of some chief wailers and everything was dry. Even David Hundeyin who should have been the first to push it was nowhere to be found. So, what exactly are headless mob on Nairaland celebrating?. It just shows you guys are far behind and only waiting for a poop to be dropped in your mouths before typing on your phone. So, let's grab our popcorn and watch how wailers will change what they were saying on the other Fake thread two minutes ago.
After God na Tinubu 💪 God bless Nigeria
“Given that plaintiff has failed to show that the CIA has ever officially acknowledged the existence or nonexistence of records responsive to his FOIA request, the CIA’s Glomar response must be sustained,” Ms Howell said in her April 8, 2025, decision. What is the glomar response?
Salewa97: This is a huge win for President Tinubu.
The narrative is gradually shifting and the haters are left with nothing but stale stories.
It is either you didn't comprehend the write-up or you didn't read it What is the glomar response? It's understanding will give you a cause to be worried for Mr president
If we reasonam well this statement is yabing Nigeria Because from his definition law and order obtains in the zoo Could that also be said of Nigeria? Bo ifiok😤
iwaeda: I remembered case brought to Solomon, by two harlots, the owner of the child said, give it to her, when the child grows, he will recognise the mum. The other woman said, kill him, so it will neither be yours or mine. A nation that lacks DEEP thinking. Kaka ki eku maje sese, afise awadanu.
Mr president dare not provoke Wike because Wike has his balls in his hands Some people manipulated something for others and are using that as a bagaining chip all the time to misbehave all the time and anyhow
NgeneUkwenu: Gov Fubara 1. Demolished the state House of Assembly 2. Presented Budget to 4 members out of 27, 3. Conducted LG elections against court order. 4. Removed traditional rulers 5. His boys are blowing up pipelines
Minister Wike 1.
Please tell me the unlawful thing Wike did??
It is only a mischievous person that can pretend that Nwike is not involved in all these As a matter of fact he is the architect of the whole imbroglio The internet is not naive or irresponsible like you
Botragelad: What are Arab leaders? 😂 I challenge any Islamist to oppose or attack Israel. You’ll be destroyed, they don’t want that.
Palestine doesn’t exist, never has, so where are you getting this nonsense? The occupiers claiming it should be sent back to where they came from, and the terrorists should be eliminated one by one. This "Palestine" garbage will perish, and anyone pushing that ideology will go down with it.
I ask again, why did Hamas kidnap hundreds of people, even babies, and slaughter thousands of Israelis on October 7? What did they think was gonna happen? Handing these terrorists a state after what they pulled is like giving them a thumbs-up for their crap.
You aren't even talking about the black African man who was murdered on the street by Hamas. He was shot all over his body, stabbed multiple times while pleading for mercy, spat on his lifeless body. Hamas did all that while celebrating and chanting their Islamic terrorist words found in their trash books. I think he was some kind of student, not so sure. What was his offense? Why aren't you talking about it?
They’re gonna sit there and watch their terror-loving families get wiped off the map until Hamas is nothing but a bad memory. And all you can do is whine about it! 🤷♂️
Those who have not seen the greater Israel map will not understand At the end Lebanon and Jordan and even a large part of Syria will be appropriated
madridguy: Santayahu don finally chop the humble pie. The same agreement he has been refused months ago. The souls of the innocent children and women will hunt Satanyahu forever.
Netanyahu in 2023: There will be no Hamas in Gaza.
Netanyahu in 2025: We are waiting for Hamas's response to the ceasefire proposal.
People in Gaza can now rebuild without Hamas - Biden published at 20:13 20:13 Adding to what brought about the deal, Biden says after 15 months of war Hamas's senior leaders are dead, thousands of its fighters are also dead, and now it's operationally weakened, it had agreed to this deal.
Biden say he's "deeply satisfied" this day has come, both for the sake of people in Israel with loved ones still being held captive, and those in Gaza who've suffered "unimaginable devastation".
He says too many innocent people have died. With this deal the Palestinians can rebuild, without Hamas, Biden adds.
The only issue I have with Jennifer is that she knew that the useless man was married and she still accepted to date him . However, The wife is so stûpid. "Whatever my husband sent to you must be divided equally" like what is that ? how low could you be.
The woman might not be wise but she is very intelligent She deployed reverse psychology and it worked I don't think she is stupid
Venue was a concert ground, song was gospel, environment was godly but is the dance godly or demonic?
Rudimentarilly, they are no godly places But when godly people gather that a godly environment prevails Unfortunately such places are often quasi experenci a
Sonnobax15: I remember being taught back then in secondary school via government studies that there's what we call "separation of powers".....
Now I'm a grown up and I've come to realize that most things we were taught in schools are only on paper but not applicable in real life....
Nigeria will never get better,not until our different arms of govt are made to operate separately without the other Meddling into the other's affairs..
Sonnobax15: Good day my fellow Nairalanders......Hope y'all are having a nice day + flexing on the harmattan season that's already gotten it's aroma allover the place?
So, recently,I was added to my primary school WhatsApp group......It's been over 20 years since we left primary school and it was indeed a good time to have a flashback of the memories of how and who we used to be back then as kids,under the same roof of the same classroom as classmates....
The reason for the reunion came about as a result of the fact that one of our classmates was about getting married....It was indeed a fun-filled moment as we were already vibing and reminiscing on our past
Suddenly,I began to notice how some guys were showcasing and boasting about how they have made it in life.....Some were even posting pictures of their expensive cars and beautiful houses....I was really happy for them,at least for seeing those whom I grew up with making it to the top...It actually gave me joy as I hoped to make it like them someday too
But then again,what really killed my joy was when one of them started to call out the names of those who used to take from the first to third positions in class ...The annoying part was that he sent it via voice note and was like mocking us about not being successful yet like those of them who were considered as the dullards back then in school.....I felt really pissed off😡. The fun was brutally murdered instantly and I began to notice how many people started to exit the group one after the other 😔. I wasn't left out cuz I also made sure I dusted my shoes and left too before they would post the pictures of me riding my keke ...what was supposed to bring us together only ended up disintegrating us further and made us felt like we were losers . As a matter of fact, I've vowed never to be a member of any WhatsApp group from henceforth . Cuz it seems these guys are only out to add more pains to people's depression
Have anyone experienced this kind of scenario before?
My dear, Some chicken never grew up psychologically You just spotted a childish adult in that group
